"Have students make podcasts" never made sense to me as a learning task, but just uploading audio files to Moodle might.

@jaranta are you differentiating between "multi episode, public, discussion format" and "any audio file thingy"?

@jaranta Yeah, in German the meaning of "Podcast" is shifting towards to something like "(mostly speech-based) audio production", too. Interesting to see that it's also happening elsewhere. The semantic features of being a series that you can subscribe to via rss (that I have associated with it) seem only partially represented in dictionaries. Maybe the meaning was never as fixed as I assumed. Given the circumstances (young word, broad use) I probably shouldn't be surprised? @AnnaSBrasch
